<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Thanks to everyone who replied. All my replies indicated that people who had taken Veratrum found it helped bloating/gas. One person suggested charcoal tablets, which capture the gas. Another suggested metamucil or a similar product. One person said to try a product called Natural Calm: I do not have the usual GI symptoms of diarrhea but I have total constipation and bloating. I found a product a few yrs back that has been my life saver. I began taking it because of fibromyalgia body pain and soon found out that it relieved my intestinal issues as well as reduce the arthritic/muscular aching that had plagued me for all my life. It is Natural Calm. It is a powdered magnesium that I drink every night. It is good for your heart, calcium absorption as well as intestinal balance. It is a powder that you dissolve in boiling water add cool water and drink. You use 1-3 tsp the amount is determined by the individual up to bowel tolerance. You can not over dose. You take it at night because it helps you sleep. I have no financial investment in Natural Calm. www.NaturalCalm.org Someone said that a product called Bio-Gest really helps them: BIO-GEST is a digestive aid which helps your stomach & small intestine digest the foods you eat. Poorly digested foods, especially starches & sugars provide intestinal bacteria & yeasts food to feast upon. The result is GAS, GAS, GAS. When food is properly digested, your body can absorb the nutrients before the bad guy bacteria & yeast in the gut get a chance to feast upon it & produce all that flattus. BIO-GEST is available on line & in compounding pharmacies, naturopathic dispensaries & pharmacies. I take 1 to 4 with each meal. Here is some interesting info on the general theory behind homeopathic remedies: The conceptof homoepathic medicine is the law of the similars: if a substance (usually a plant, mineral, or animal substance) ingested in a concentrated form causes XYZ symptoms, the same substance take in very diluted concentrations (typically measured in parts per thousand or less) will help the body to heal itself when it is experiencing XYZ symptoms. A mainstream example of this is quinine which comes from a bark of a tree, and is used to treat malaria. If ingested in a concentrated form, quinine produces symptoms similar to malaria. There are dozens of homeopathic remedies for colds, depending upon whether your cold consists of a stuffy or runny nose; if you feel better with cold or warm compresses; if you feel weepy or don't want to be touched; etc. Similarly, there are many remedies for indigestion, nausea, diarrhea, etc. You can find lots of them at health food stores. Many naturopathic doctors are also knowledgeable about homeopathic remedies and might be able to help you to identify ones that could help. Be sure NOT to eat anything for 15 minutes before or after taking a remedy. Don't touch the pills with your hand -- they can reduce their effectiveness.
